1. Fake a flawless complexion. First off, you don't need an inch of foundation to make your skin look its best. In this scenario, less is certainly more and you're better off going with less coverage and more luminosity, which goes a long way for minimizing imperfections.

2. All about eyes. Eye contact is paramount when you're getting to know someone, so in this case, forget layering on multiple shadows. Help your eyes sparkle with a slightly shimmery neutral shadow (try M.A.C "All That Glitters") and add definition with eyeliner on the upper and lower lids.
